LABOR AND LAND.
FACTS FOR REMEMBRANCE
By PEOPL . WHO TOLL.
Notwithstanding Of fHomesteads
90 Incident Manufacture of
Millionnaires and Paupers.

The Knights of Labor all over
the country have wisely united in a
strong demand for thorough re-
form in the monstrous abuses Of the
public land system, so that at least
some part of the great public do
main might be saved from corpOr-
ations and land grabbers of various
kinds for homes for the people. 1t
is honorable to the order that it has
moved in this matter, which so
nearly concerns American working
men, and not only them, but the
continued peace and good order Of
the country. So long as the dissat-
isfied among American workingmen
can secure independence by re-
moval to free homesteads on public
lands 80 long there, will remain
safety valve for their dissatisfaction.
The sensible workingman will not
conspire while he can better his con
dition on the public lands.
But If land reform is to be accom-
plished the Knights of Labor must
prepare to bring the strongest pres
sure they can upon the next Con-
gress. The leaders of the order can
do no more important work than to
awaken their membership to this ur-
; gent necessity. Land reform is OPP
posed and land grabbing is main
tanned by influences in and out Of
Congress not easily overcome. Hum
dreds of millions of corporate and
individual capital are banded to-
gether to resist the repeal of laws
which substantially legalize land
grabbing and to cause the failure of
laws iorleiting unearned land grants
and restoring probably more than
two hundred millions OF acres to the
public domain for homes for the
landless.

THE Democratic Convention, held at Chicago in 1884, which nominated Grover Cleveland for President, adop. ted as one ofthe blanks ofits platform, the following:
 "The selection of Federal officers for the Territories should be restric- ted to citizens previously resident therein.
 This plank met with the unqualified endorsement of MT. Cleveland's par ty, but since he has been in office it ha, been consistently ignored, and a large majority of the Territorial offices have been filled by democratic place seekers, who, failing to get more de sirsblc positions, have been consigned to the political hospitals, known as territorial offices, mainly to get the clamoring applicants out of the way. Territories are not dependencies to be treated in the same way as conquered provinces. Neither are they hospitals fer political malcontents nor training grounds for embryo politicians. The territories arc commonwealths in the true meaning of the word, as much as the states are. In their early settle ment it was doubtless necessary 10 send out Governors, Secretaries and Chief Justices to the far western ter ritories. But those days have gone by, Arizona has out grown its political childhood. It is now prosperous place with plenty of men, learned enough to fill any public position with dignity and ability. It is not neces- sary to argue this question here, but simply to point out the fact that Pres. ident Cleveland, in appointing Mis- souri man as Chief Justice of Arizona, has once again acted in direct oppo, sition to the platform adopted by the cumulative wisdom of the party who made it possible, for him to commit such blunl Ter.

Volume twenty-nine of these works and volume one of the history oi Oregon, is intensely interesting. It commences with the year 1884 and gives detai'el account of the topo- graphy of the country. The name Oregon was adopted from the Indian name for the Columbia river. An in. teresting sketch is given of early life at Fort Vancouver under the b.nef- cent rule of John Loughlin. He was called governor by courtesy, although he had no right to the title, being merely in the employ of the Hudson Bay Company.

RANGE sLAUGnTsaIso.

Much has been written lately con corning the possibility of making the beef slaughtering business pay wher conducted in range country. There is no avoiding the fact that the at tempt has been made in several place. where it has failed as paying invest ment. Now, ina,much as the grea difficulty the cattle grower meets witt in realizing profit on bis beef is tho enormous percentage of its value con sumed in freight from the range to the eastern market, as well as tho profits Of the middlemen, slaughter ing near the ranges and shipping the dressed beef Instead of the live ani. nal, would seem at the first blush to solve the difficulty.
 What the reasons are why range slsughtering has not been always sue. cessful aud how to make it successful arc matters of vital import to every stock grower in the range country. One reason has been that slaughtering establishments have not been able to purchase a continuous supply ofbeef cattle and this has been caused, in a large measure, from the fact that stock men are reluctant to sell cattle on the spot at the same price they would re. alize if shipped to Chicago. The chance of competitor and the possibil. fly of rising market are temptations to dispose of their cattle in way that is little speculative. Cattle grow ing is speculative business and the average western man likes to back his opinion, which he does in this case by taking his chances of striking the market at the right time --when prices arc high.
 In the face of the fact that range slaushtsriug establishments have not been often successful hitherto, 1t is in- disputable that this plan of disposing of beef cattle will eventually be adop- ted 10 the great advantage ofthe stock grower. The saving in freight and tse avoidance of loss and injury to the cattle during transit would alone make considerable profit.
 The question is, hoy can slaugh- tering business be conducted to make 1t pay as an investment and al the same time pay the stock grower as good, or b9s!er price for his product

than he would obtain by sending it to an eastern market ?

an e1StoTn IHdIkCt
 At present, the only feasible plan would seem to be for some large cat tie outfit to take hold of the business, slaughter their own beef and ship it to any point where there is market, al. so to slaughter for other cattle grow CTS at a certain price or commission per head, the owners of such cattle to assume the risk of shipment to any market they please, also take their chances of the price realized. A plan similar to this has been adopted by the Australian cattle and sheep grow CTS and reports state that the plan has worked very successfully.
 For the successful carrying on of such an enterprise, Flagstaff is the most available point in the whole southwestern range country and if some company with tho necessary cap. ital will engage in the business, it will prove profitable undertaking to them and benefit to other cattle growers in our yicioity.

and in their desp eration have hit on the plan of bringing Brigham back to life. At present, he is said to be in retirement somewhere in southern Ne brsska receiving delegations of the Mormon leaders and making prepara- tions for his second coming with rev. citations for the faithful, from anoth- CT world. The probabilities are that they have found an old man who bears some resemblance 70 Young and are training him for the work required of him. The Mormon,-at least many of them-will probably be duped by this scheme and and we shall soon hear of some revelation which will seem to hei2 the church out of the dilemma which now surrounds it. The best thing that could be done would be to arrest this old man, if he can be found, and have him tried before the courts as the yeritable Brigham Young, char. ged with polygamous practices. If he wants to escape the consequences of personating the defuuct prophet, no doubt some of the many widows of the latter can testify that he is not the real "Simon pure.

SECRETARY LAMAR, in a recent re Fort, urges upon congress the neces- sity of having timber reserves at the head of streams and suggests that the government should aid the people of Arizona in the reclamation of arid lands by sinking artesion wells. He claims that this work is too expensive iorysmsll land owners and unless the government lends helping hand large tracks of land will eventually get into the hands of syndicates and cor lSratioas who have the capital to ex' pend.
